At least 3 of my favorite musicians are hanging in or about Minneapolis, namely, Greg, Mark, and Colleen. Must be all the snow and moose sightings that keep y'all so artistically inspired.
This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

Colleen, That goodbye song is just the final song on my new album I did for the RPM Challenge...an online thing where people try to do a whole album between the beginning and end of February.

But thank you for listening to my music. I'm not going anywhere.

OK, for the 3rd day in a row, I woke up with your voice singing this song in my head, and I carry it with me all day. If the responses to a songwriting challenge were judged by that standard -- how stuck it gets into one's head, then no contest, this one has possessed me!
Hi! I just posted a remix of this, hopefully that's OK with you? Here it is: http://alonetone.com/mecreos/tracks/change-is-calling-1
I thought is was cool, hopefully you do to.
A bit of a blue one live from the cellar.....
Time Please Fly Away
time has that way of healing pain
it can can turn a madman back to sane
long ago a dream was made
but like my thoughts that dream has strayed

INFATUATION UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation unrequited
feels like love to me for you
And then they say, "Silence is golden,"
and I don't know what to do
The Autumn leaves the branches…
Geas sent me this tune for National talk like a pirate a day so we took it down the cellar and luckily Robert Newton was down there so we got him up on the stage and got him to do this little number......Hoping Yee enjoy eye arrh…

Okay this is killer!!!! I was also expecting a spoofer song for your Pirate submission, you surprise us all with this amazing tale... Beautiful and a bit scary (especially the teeth in the cup!) Talk about swinging for the fences. LOVE IT!!!!!!
Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...
EVERYTHING
Everything you know or think you know
Everything you know is wrong
Life ain't no hootenanny
and you don't have to sing along
You can laugh and you can mumble
You can hold your breath
Take a little piece of my heart now honey…
It was cold just for one moment, memories flow imposed on each other as whimsical mosaics that didn't seem his own. Was it the dog called Monty, or ...
All around full of crystal icy droplets hanging on the trees, the sun is shining through the branches and there is no-one around. I'm such a jolly one still believe in love.

THE LESSON
I saw her in a music store in Fort Worth, Texas
I'd driven in to buy some strings
It was like getting hit by a little fist in my solar plexis
when she said, “Can you help me tune this thing?”
She had a smile. A thin disguise…
Turn the Lights Off
The music is from my Wildgeas 2016 RPM effort
I'm trying to vocalize them. :)
Lyrics:
If you take a new lover
Turn the lights of when you go
You take the pain
I'm takin' the A train
You can have your nights…
He Leads Me Home by Tom Brandow
From the first time I fell, till the last time I’ll fall
Jesus is there to lead me home.
From the first breathe I took, till the last one I’ll take
Jesus is there to lead me home.
He Leads Me Home, He…

This is very cool. I dig it.
Love the guitar and mandolin jam and vocal ensemble! NIce!
Some great beats here that go well with your lovely vocals.
At least 3 of my favorite musicians are hanging in or about Minneapolis, namely, Greg, Mark, and Colleen. Must be all the snow and moose sightings that keep y'all so artistically inspired.
This one is a Classic! I think you need to bring it to the next SongWriters Circle.
Nice, good job on adding a few more elements to the mix. They keyboard is cool! Bongos make EVERYTHING better.......
